It's a Beautiful Day, "White Bird"

This hippie classic was co-written by band founders David and Linda LaFlamme and sung by David LaFlamme and Pattie Santos.

Linda LaFlamme has died, age 85. This album and its beautiful cover represented one of the last flowerings of the Bay Area peace'n'luv vibe, with "White Bird" released six months before the events at Altamont Speedway.

The iconic album cover, designed by George Hunter and painted by Kent Hollister, is based on the painting Woman on the Top of a Mountain by Charles Courtney Curran.

Found a post yesterday insisting that the relationship between Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian is that of a leader and subordinate, not of brothers. The post then proceeded to illustrate the various sibling relationships in MDZS (LXC & LWJ, NMJ & NHS, WQ & WN, JYL & WWX), among other things.

Oh, so JYL and JC don't have a sibling relationship, then?

Oh, well. 🤷

MONDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO: “You Won’t Be Seeing Me Anymore” by Tim (a.k.a. Chris) Andrews https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8bhFTWVNVU  This was recorded in London, but it has a folk-pop California sound that could’ve come from Laurel Canyon or San Francisco circa 1967 (when this song was made). On a cosmic jukebox this track would play next to It’s A Beautiful Day (“White Bird”) and Love. It was written by Gordon Haskell, Tim/Chris Andrews’s former bandmate from Fleur de Lys. Gordon is often noted for his role in an early incarnation of King Crimson, but beyond that he was a prolific singer-songwriter who, after years as a “starving folksinger,” found success with the hit single “How Wonderful You Are” and the platinum album HARRY’S BAR.

The lyrics are about seasonal love, coming from a young man who travels for a long time and leaves his troubled sweetheart behind. The track (w/Gordon on bass and guitar) was produced by Paul Clay (Ace Kefford, Sharon Tandy, early Yes) and Mike Noble (Joan Armatrading, Fleur de Lys, John Kongos). It was the B-side of “Sad Simon Lives Again,” Tim’s first solo single after he’d signed with renowned producer, promoter, and music executive Tony Hall (who’d plugged The Beatles, Carmen McRae, and later inked Black Sabbath’s first record deal). Tim later reverted to his real name Chris and went on as a solo act and a collaborator with Roger Daltrey, David Essex, and Davy Jones (Monkees).

HOT SUMMER MUSIC

The face of a very good boy.

Normally I can sense when I'm more likely to experience symptoms of my disabilities and my issue is that I tend to ignore them and try to push through. But sometimes it does happen suddenly and without warning that I am privy to.

At around 3:30 I had just come in from playing with the dogs outside. I sat down on the couch and started scrolling social media on my phone. A video came up that triggered me hard and fast. I saw less than five seconds of it before throwing my phone away from me (luckily it landed on the couch) and started crying. Usually I then start self harming, experience painful muscle spasms, and/or difficulty breathing.

Before it could escalate beyond crying Forte was on it. He pressed his body onto mine and insistently licked my face. This kept me from damaging myself, stopped the spasms, and helped keep me grounded enough to regulate my breathing.

In the course of training a service dog I have trained myself to respond to early warning signs by at least making sure I'm in the same room as my SDiT and have treats within easy reach. But this episode came out of nowhere and I was not prepared. Forte was in the room but out of sight and I had no treats or toys.

He still responded so fast and efficiently that the episode was over after about five minutes. Once I was able to get up I did heap a ton of praise on him and went into the next room to give him treats.

Something like this would normally kill the rest of the day for me. But after taking some time to go through my own decompression techniques I'm ready to go back outside with the dogs and possibly run some of the errands I had planned.

I'm just so grateful to have him. For his immediately jumping into action. For his really and truly understanding what he's being trained for. I didn't do any of the things I normally do to set him up for success. But he did his job so well and I just... I love him so much and I am bone deep grateful to have him in my life.
